Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)

Traditional SEO gets you ranked on Google. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) gets your brand cited, recommended, and trusted by ChatGPT, Google’s AI, Perplexity, Claude, and Bing Copilot — where over 1 billion people now search every week.

Why Generative Engine Optimization Matters Now

Search is splitting in two. Traditional engines still matter, but AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI are growing at 7x year-over-year. Gartner predicts 25% of all search volume will shift to AI platforms by end of 2026. The problem? Traditional SEO alone doesn’t make you visible to AI. LLMs don’t rank pages — they recommend brands based on entity authority, citation signals, content structure, and factual clarity. GEO bridges this gap by optimizing your content for how AI models actually process, understand, and recommend information. Brands that invest in GEO now gain a compound advantage that will be nearly impossible to replicate by 2027–2028.

Frequently Asked Questions About GEO

What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of optimizing your brand’s online presence so AI-powered search engines — like ChatGPT, Google’s AI, Perplexity, Claude, and Bing Copilot — cite, recommend, and reference your brand in their responses. Unlike traditional SEO that focuses on Google rankings, GEO focuses on how large language models (LLMs) perceive, process, and recommend your content.
How is GEO different from traditional SEO?
Traditional SEO optimizes for Google’s ranking algorithms using keywords, backlinks, and technical signals. GEO optimizes for how LLMs understand and recommend brands. The key signals are different — AI models prioritize entity recognition, citation authority, content clarity, factual accuracy, and structured data. There is a 0.65 correlation between Google page-one rankings and ChatGPT mentions, meaning traditional SEO helps but is not sufficient alone.
Which AI platforms does GEO cover?
Our GEO services optimize for all major AI search platforms: ChatGPT (800M+ weekly users), Claude (Anthropic), Perplexity AI (30M+ monthly users, 370% YoY growth), Google’s AI (450M+ monthly users), Bing Copilot (Microsoft), and Meta AI. Our strategies work across all LLMs because we focus on fundamental AI comprehension signals rather than platform-specific tricks.
How long does GEO take to show results?
Most clients see initial citation improvements within 30–60 days. Significant AI visibility — including consistent brand recommendations across platforms — typically develops within 90 days. We provide monthly tracking reports so you can see exactly how your AI visibility is growing.
Can GEO work alongside my existing SEO strategy?
Absolutely. GEO complements traditional SEO — it doesn’t replace it. In fact, strong traditional SEO foundations make GEO more effective. We integrate GEO into your existing strategy so both Google rankings and AI visibility improve together.
Is GEO suitable for e-commerce and product pages?
Yes. AI search platforms increasingly handle product recommendations and comparisons. We optimize product pages, category structures, and brand content so AI engines recommend your products when users ask for buying advice, comparisons, or “best of” lists.
How do you measure GEO performance?
We track AI mentions, citation frequency, recommendation rank, mention sentiment, and referral traffic from AI platforms using specialized monitoring tools. You receive monthly reports showing visibility growth across each AI platform, plus conversion tracking for AI-referred traffic.
